Editor:
I just wanted to take the time to tell you the things that I enjoy about your newspaper. I was one of the first babies born at the Owen County Hospital and I lived in Owen County until we moved to Boone County in 1962. My dad was a pressman at the paper when we lived there. I make a point to try and pick out the different houses that we lived in. The last one was on Dog Hill and your current Owen Countian of the Year lived across the street. We were best buddies.

Where do I begin with a mother like “Flaming Mame.” This is a nickname my daddy gave her many years ago when they were naming their food truck!
Let me start by telling you what she is not. She is not a cook, a keeper of a spotless house, a gardener, or any of the things that fall under the category of a typical “mother.” But I beam with pride to tell you what she has been and still is to many.

April 6, I had a life-threatening health issue. I went to St. Elizabeth Owen’s ER. They quickly started an IV, blood test and CT scan of my stomach and found I had volvulus (twisted intestines). Believe me, there can be no worse pain.
They immediately called Frankfort and arranged emergency surgery as soon as I could get there. Everything went fine. On the fifth day I was going to be released, the same thing happened again, had to go back to the OR.

On April 1, 2017, Champions for a Drug-Free Grant County partnered with the Grant County Drug Task Force to host the first Faith to Stand event at Grant County High School. Members of the Faith sector had had enough of sitting idly by and watching their loved one’s battle drug abuse and addiction and not doing anything about it.

I was dismayed when I opened a recent News-Herald and saw a very large picture and headlines concerning the Carolyn Keith arrest.
I would rather have seen the lead news story be about Carson Williams bringing the national spotlight to Owen County. Better yet, fill the entire front page with the story and pictures of the Williams brothers and run the Keith story elsewhere in the paper. The News-Herald missed an opportunity to showcase two young, successful Owen County men.
